< Job 39 >
1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
山岩间的野山羊几时生产,你知道吗? 母鹿下犊之期,你能察定吗?
2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
它们怀胎的月数,你能数算吗? 它们几时生产,你能晓得吗?
3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
它们屈身,将子生下, 就除掉疼痛。
4 Their young ones are become strong, they grow strong with grain; they go forth, and return not to them.
这子渐渐肥壮,在荒野长大, 去而不回。
5 Who hath sent out the wild donkey free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild donkey?
谁放野驴出去自由? 谁解开快驴的绳索?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
我使旷野作它的住处, 使咸地当它的居所。
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
它嗤笑城内的喧嚷, 不听赶牲口的喝声。
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
遍山是它的草场; 它寻找各样青绿之物。
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
野牛岂肯服事你? 岂肯住在你的槽旁?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
你岂能用套绳将野牛笼在犁沟之间? 它岂肯随你耙山谷之地?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
岂可因它的力大就倚靠它? 岂可把你的工交给它做吗?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
岂可信靠它把你的粮食运到家, 又收聚你禾场上的谷吗?
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich?
鸵鸟的翅膀欢然搧展, 岂是显慈爱的翎毛和羽毛吗?
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
因它把蛋留在地上, 在尘土中使得温暖;
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
却想不到被脚踹碎, 或被野兽践踏。
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
它忍心待雏,似乎不是自己的; 虽然徒受劳苦,也不为雏惧怕;
17 Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
因为 神使它没有智慧, 也未将悟性赐给它。
18 When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
它几时挺身展开翅膀, 就嗤笑马和骑马的人。
19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
马的大力是你所赐的吗? 它颈项上挓挲的鬃是你给它披上的吗?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
是你叫它跳跃像蝗虫吗? 它喷气之威使人惊惶。
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
它在谷中刨地,自喜其力; 它出去迎接佩带兵器的人。
22 He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; neither turneth he back from the sword.
它嗤笑可怕的事并不惊惶, 也不因刀剑退回。
23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
箭袋和发亮的枪, 并短枪在它身上铮铮有声。
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
它发猛烈的怒气将地吞下; 一听角声就不耐站立。
25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
角每发声,它说呵哈; 它从远处闻着战气, 又听见军长大发雷声和兵丁呐喊。
26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
鹰雀飞翔,展开翅膀一直向南, 岂是借你的智慧吗?
27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
大鹰上腾在高处搭窝, 岂是听你的吩咐吗?
28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
它住在山岩, 以山峰和坚固之所为家,
29 From there she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
从那里窥看食物, 眼睛远远观望。
30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
它的雏也咂血; 被杀的人在哪里,它也在那里。
